.To a/ZZ whom it m/cbz/ concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM J.

This invention has for its object the production of a novel terret for use with harnesssaddles and for guiding the driving-reins.

My novel terret has an open space parallel with the width of the terret, through which a rein may be passed edgewise into the eye of the terret, where it remains during driving.

Figure l, in Side elevation, represents a terret embodying my invention; Fig. 2, an edge view thereof, and Fig. 8 a top or plan view.

The terret to be described comprises a base a, having a threaded shank I) and two arms c d, curved, as illustrated in the drawings, the ends of the arms being enlarged or shaped to present portions c d. The arms are of such length as to overlap one the other (see Fig. 3) and leave a space e substantially parallel with the width of the terret, the line a: x designating what is herein called the width or the terret. The portions c d stand at the opposite ends of the space e, and the edge of the rein g may be forced edgewise Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent7 ish A harness-terret having a thread-base terminating in an enlarged top portion, said top portion being iiat on its under side and supporting integrally two upwardly, inwardly and downwardly curved tapering arms, said arms lying side by side, and separated where opposite each other to leave a space therebetween for the passage oi a line edgewise, the ball extremities of the arms being carried below the top of the terret, and turned outwardly. v

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
